0) Connect Your Flash Drive.
1) First download the latest Haiku raw image (
http://haiku-files.org/raw/ ) and the latest Flashnul program (
http://shounen.ru/soft/flashnul ).
2) Extract both files to a new directory (e.g. c:\haiku). Rename the
raw image to haiku.img
3) Open a Command Line (Start -> Run, type "cmd", and press enter.)
You will see a black window appear with a blinking cursor. You can
use basic DOS commands to navigate the directory of the image and the
Flashnul. For example "cd \haiku".
4) Type "flashnul -p" to list the available devices.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:
Flashnul>flashnul -p
Available physical drives:
0 size = 81961123328 (76 Gb)
1 size = 1000341504 (954 Mb)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, I have 2 physical disks, the first is 76Gb, and the
second is 954 Mb. The second is my Flash drive, shown at index 1. The
list will vary depending on your own storage setup. It is very
important that you use the number that your listing shows!!! Use the
media size as an extra clue to identify the correct media.
5) Write image to flash drive
In step 4 we listed the available devices. We need the index of the
Flash drive to write the image to it.
To write the image to Flash drive use the following command (Check the
number 3 times before You press enter!!!!!):
"flashnul number_of_Your_flashdrive -L haiku.img"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:
Flashnul>flashnul 1 -L haiku.img
